https://polyglotclub.com/services

It will be released to the public soon, feel free to add improvement requests here

GrimPixel: I think the payment can be divided into several sections, with clear descriptions. If the buyer is content for a section, it pay for it, and then start the next section, until the last one. Vincent: good idea GrimPixel: The right of determining the division should be granted to the seller, and the plan should be confirmed by the buyer.

GrimPixel: There should be a place to display the sellers' credentials. Vincent: There is on this page, label "not rated yet" : https://polyglotclub.com/services/jobs/offline-language-teaching/native-english-teacher-in-paris/ GrimPixel: I mean something like graduation certificates. Vincent: Sellers receive reviews (stars) from buyers and Good sellers have special "levels" https://polyglotclub.com/services/levels/

GrimPixel: In a page of a service, the right division with buttons should be pinned at that position when the mouse is scrolling. Vincent: good idea GrimPixel: The background color of the price makes it look like an unclickable button. It can be changed to that deep blue. https://polyglotclub.com/services/jobs/online-language-teaching/i-will-teach-arabic-online-using-skype/ https://polyglotclub.com/services/jobs/general-translation/translate-french-into-german-englisch-and-german-into-french-english/ Vincent: those are actually fake jobs, since I need to display content before there are enough real jobs. I don't want people to be able to buy the fake jobs. here is a real job : https://polyglotclub.com/services/jobs/general-translation/polish-ukrainian-russian-english-translations-and-teaching/ GrimPixel: I wondered how you get so many users before the release. Now I wonder how to increase its popularity.

GrimPixel: The price can be more detailed, such as "14 USD / 300 words". Vincent: yes this feature will be added 14USD / hour OR 14USD / 300 words GrimPixel: Don't forget characters, "14USD / 600 characters", for example, which is for languages like Chinese.Vincent: ok GrimPixel: Then it's better to be aligned to the left, because with "/ 300 words" will actually make the position of the price not at the lower-left corner. Also "characters" will make the position rugged.

GrimPixel: The icon of Service can be more accurate. Vincent: What icon?GrimPixel: On the top menu, that globe. Vincent: ok

GrimPixel: I guess your next work is Quizzes, but it's not urgent. Vincent: yes why not

GrimPixel: I think people not only can post what they can provide, but also will be able to post what they need. Vincent: Yes then can here: https://polyglotclub.com/services/new-request/ GrimPixel: I didn't notice it. Requests can be displayed on the home page and easy to find. I think there should be markers of provide or need.

GrimPixel: If I visit from the top menu, the page is too simple. Maybe it can be a link to the complete page. Vincent: OK, it's changed

GrimPixel: "100% secure Job is done or money back" should be "100% secure Job is done or money is back", and this is redundant, because it is repeated in the following block. Maybe the two blocks can be merged.

GrimPixel: Time zone is not auto-generated.

GrimPixel: Texts in the upper-left corner, under that "Hi, username", can be more parallel: "Sell a service. Post a job", "Request a service. Post a request", or just two buttons "Provide a service", "Request a service".

GrimPixel: One may offer different services with different prices, but there is only one price shown.

GrimPixel: The mail introducing Services has been successfully delievered into my "spam" category. This means that it was not effective. Vincent:please could you send me a copy of this email at my email. I've send a email only to users living in France, so you should not have received it...

GrimPixel: Here comes the biggest problem:

https://polyglotclub.com/services/jobs/online-language-teaching/learn-arabic/

https://polyglotclub.com/services/jobs/general-translation/spanish-english-translation/

GrimPixel: In the first one, there is an "Other jobs by ..."; in the second one, there is an "Order Additional". They both have one fuction: to provide more than one type of service. In the first one, users have a clear price for each service, but it requires to visit another page if the users want it; in the second one, the price of the second service is not shown on the home page, and what's more, users can't deselect "Job Quantity" if they just want the second service.

GrimPixel: Also, the checkbox of the second service should be removed, with that the number can be changed to "0".

GrimPixel: I have just noticed that the "+" and "-" can be dragged and be put into the number textbox, which is embarrasing for tablet users.

GrimPixel: "+" and "-" can be bigger in size.

GrimPixel: There should be "+2" and "-2", which makes it easier. If the limit of number can be higher, there can also be "+5" and "-5".

GrimPixel: When dragging the slidebar down, there is a rapid move in the page, which is not comfortable.

GrimPixel: There should be an "other languages".

Vincent: Many thanks, clever comments. a BIG development is needed for Pricing options. I'll do the same as https://www.fiverr[DOT]com, but simpler. Pricing will be different depending of the categories. for example for the Translation category no "+" and "-" buttons but buyer can change directely the number of words. Example: https://www.fiverr[DOT]com/sflansburg/translate-spanish-to-english

MY NATIVE LANGUAGE IS VALUABLE!

Have you ever thought about that?

You have a very valuable skill. This skill, which you have taken many years to acquire, is the mastery of your native language ... At this moment, people all over the world are dreaming of mastering your native language.

For many years, Polyglot Club has offered free language exchanges. Language exchange is an effective and amusing method, but you must have the time and the desire to teach your native language in exchange for a free course.

Some wish to learn faster and are willing to pay for a more effective language course. Others need different language services like translating text from one language to another, writing articles or posts for their blogs. They also want, for example, to be accompanied by an interpreter during a business trip or they need to find a bilingual babysitter for their child. Language services are diverse and numerous...

What about you?

- Do you think you can meet some of these needs?

- Do you feel like the soul of a teacher, an article writer, a babysitter?

If so, the new POLYGLOT SERVICES platform is for you.

It helps to connect the buyers and sellers of services in the field of languages.

You will be able to:

- submit a language service offer.

- select and buy the service you need.
